Question : If $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{2}}}$, then the value of $x$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{14}{13}$

Option 2: 1

Option 3: $\frac{13}{15}$

Option 4: $\frac{15}{13}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{15}{13}$


Solution : Given: The expression is $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{2}}}$.
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{10+1}{2}}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{11}{2}}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{11}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{\frac{11+2}{11}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{\frac{13}{11}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{11}{13}$
⇒ $x=2–\frac{11}{13}$
⇒ $x=\frac{26–11}{13}=\frac{15}{13}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{15}{13}$.

The area of the circle $=\pi R^2$ where $R$ is the radius.
According to the question,
$\pi R^2–\pi r^2=264$
⇒ $\frac{22}{7}\times(R^2–r^2)=264$
⇒ $(R^2–r^2)=\frac{264\times 7}{22}$
